With respect,iIt is incorrect to place this item against Springfield Mill, Maidstone. The Mr Whatman referred to had nothing to do with Springfield Mill, and the item should if anything be placed against Turkey Mill, Maidstone.

Springfield Mill was ‘opened’ in 1807 by William Balston, protogé of James Whatman the younger, father of the James Whatman referred to in the article.
